Bought the premium PS5 ssd version for $199 tax included off ebay directly from adata. They were offering had a 15% coupon at the time. The Premium PS5 ssd is the generic unbranded version of the s70, with the same exact specs and chipset. Do yourself a favor and get the best sink avaliable. It's the ElecGear heat sink / cover from amazon, and also get the Gelid 1mm thermal pad, it's rated at 4x more energy transfer. I placed the OEM hestsink on the back side of the sdd, and sandwiched the gelid and electgear on top. It's a tight fit but works perfect. My PS5 is running much cooler now that all my games are being routed through this set up.

Is the included heat sink sufficient for the PS5? Does it fit the PS5?

If you click on the product link, the description tells you that it has a heat sink for ps5.

No. and yes. You have to buy a different heatsink to apply onto the drive when fitting it on the PS5. Search on Amazon for a couple of them that are great to use. Forgot how much they are, but it's recommended you do so instead of using the credit card thick heatsink that comes with the drive.

ADATA has various rebadged version of this SSD of same specification.
This one with a low profile heatsink, a thick heatsink one that could even bother video card on some PC motherboard, a "Premium" for PS5 and probably more rebadges.

I have the PS5 one, though I use it for a PC, it came with a "credit card thick" heatsink which looks just like the OP (black color to white, replace XPG with ADATA).
I'd rather describe it as a heat spreader.

Sequential read:
Up to 7400MB/s (PC/laptop)
Up to 6100MB/s (PS5)
Sequential write:
UP to 6800MB/s (PC/Laptop)

You're better off buying one on Amazon for 12$. The slim heatsink is not enough for the ps5 from what I have read

If anyone is looking for an upgraded heatsink that fits in a PS5, I highly recommend be quiet! BZ002 MC1. I have the MC1 Pro and it does wonders for my Gen 4 Sabrent drive.

FYI:
Adata (along with Kingston and PNY) have been known to switch to inferior components once they get favorable reviews on their initial batches. Linus Tech Tips even made a video about their bait and switch tactics:

Just an FYI for everyone, you want to keep SSDs between 30 and 50c. The further you go above 50c the faster the NAND will degrade. On the flipside if you go below 30c you'll reduce performance. I've even had a few PCIe 3.0 SSDs have issues failing to boot below that temp where the SSD would only boot after I've restarted the system once. Removing the heatsink fixed the issue entirely.

In the case of PCIe 4.0 SSDs that are on the market right now you are going to want at least some sort of heatsink. My HP FX900 reaches 72c with the stock heatsink (very cheap and thin) and 52c with a $10 heatsink with some heft to it. There are more expensive heatsinks on the market but are likely overkill for anything out right now unless you have a very high ambient temp.

Do note that a PCIe 4.0 drive will not perform better than a PCIe 3.0 drive in day-to-day tasks or gaming. Even a SATA SSD is within a fraction of a second loading time wise to a PCIe 4.0 SSD. Games mainly benefit from latency and random read performance which unfortunately has not been increasing nearly as fast as sequential reads and writes. The same will apply to PCIe 5.0 drives when they launch as well. Early specs indicate that the bulk of the improvements is once again to the sequential speeds.
